President Obama's apology yesterday was "extraordinary," and about much more than just a specific Affordable Care Act glitch, writes Susan Page at USA Today: "It was about turning around a downward slide that could threaten the future of his presidency." His administration's own missteps have undermined his signature achievement in ways Republicans never managed. Obama's admissions yesterday "fueled questions about his administration's competence and his own leadership, the most fundamental of presidential characteristics."

Congressional Democrats are already starting to waver in their support for Obama and his ObamaCare. The president's approval rating is currently in the same neighborhood that George W. Bush saw at this point in his presidency, and the public is starting to doubt Obama's honesty and leadership. Presidents have bounced back from these cellars before. But right now things are so bad that a question yesterday about the stalled negotiations with Iran "seemed to be almost a relief." Click for Page's full column.

This president has done more to divide this country than any before him. The democrat party is bent on having everyone controlled by government. This is not what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution and Articles to the Constitution. Their agenda is to distribute wealth to those who are unwilling or unable to work as well as provide them with cradle to grave control by the government. When will people wake up and realize government in general is getting to big and too controlling of personal lives of the citizens. We are simply numbers to government exiting for their use with no other purpose but to supply the government with dollars to continue and expand their authority, power and control of its citizens. This president personifies this model and has done nothing to help those who work and try and afford a reasonable lifestyle while driving this same segment of society into poverty to control them. This president is a proficient liar and cares nothing for people that he allegedly proposes to assist. Not that the republican party is the panacea however the democrat party has lost its way when it used to represent working people, now they only care about control and the citizen be damned!
